I would like a Christian perspective on population?

I my self do believe in god...But i also do believe in science as just a little glimpse
into how god created everything.

I would really appreciate a Christians perspective on the population problem.

Do Christians believe we have one?

Some parts of the world are crowded and over-populated, some look like isolated parched lands.... Some countries are producing babies like rabbits even in poverty, some others have one-child or face fine policies that faces a potential terrible risk of millions of men possibly having to remain single or turning gay due to lack of women to marry.


I don't think the world as a whole has a population problem, it's individual countries.

What Tina is saying is that there is no problem with population, the problem lies with politics (and corruption).

And she is right.

"Upon examining the US, we find out that Texas fits the bill nicely. In fact, Texas has 261,797.12 square miles of land. Which is, in fact, more than the area we need to house all 7 billion of us at typical New York City densities. Meaning every man, woman, and child living and breathing on the face of the Earth could fit in relative comfort within the land territory of the State of Texas."

Yes we have one, but it's of our own making. Look at Africa. Africa can only support so many people, but when their population gets out of control and people starve we send them tons of food. What do they do then? Why, make more babies of course. So then they have even MORE people, they starve, we send them food. It's a vicious cycle. It seems cruel to let people starve, but all we're doing is setting up the greatest famine in human history, it will be ugly.

Keep in mind this isn't the average Christian's perspective, as most will want to send them food an relieve their suffering unmindful of the suffering we will be causing in the future.

Of course, then we'd give up all of the agricultural land in Texas and everyone can starve.

In other words: If the entire worlds population can fit comfortably inside one State, then the Earth has plenty of uninhabited land to populate.

The more people there are, the more potential followers of Christ there are. I can't think of any CHRISTIAN nations with this sort of problem, only pagan and atheist ones.

It's our problem too, as non-Christian nations become overpopulated we ship them into Christian ones by the millions. At the current rate in only a few decades Europe will have a Muslim majority, and how do you think they'll treat us when that happens?

They'll probably wage Jihad on us. I think we should stop them before they can.

This is a scary thought.
